The 40 Day Fast

I have discovered several blogs lately that I read daily (or at least whenever the writers blog). Two are written by the same person, Kat - she writes a music business blog and a personal blog. On her personal blog she just came up with a great initiative - the 40 day fast. The purpose behind it is to give people an opportunity to:
1. Experience a bit of need
2. Learn about the need in the world
3. Do something about it

She is trying to find 39 bloggers (I just signed up) who would be willing to fast for one day and blog about their experience. On their specified day, the fasting blogger also highlights an area of need in the world (either a cause or a country) and an organization that strives to meet that need. On the other 39 days (the days a blogger is not fasting) each blogger writes a short post with a link to the blogger who is fasting that day. The idea behind this is to introduce a lot of different people to many different causes or nations and reinforce the idea that there is need by putting it in front of our readers on a daily basis for 40 days.

Finally, the readers of all the blogs involved are encouraged to join us in fasting on the 40th day, July 31. So.... anyone here want to jump in with the 40 day fast? Either to take a day in the project (if you don't have a blog you can guest blog on Kat's on your day), or by joining us on July 31.
